If you are one of the many women who spend half their lives thinking about their wedding day, you certainly want to look your fabulous best when the big day is finally here. The wedding dress is perhaps the single item that captures the most attention during a wedding. The man who will be spending the rest of his life with you, as well as your family members and friends, will all be hoping to see you look absolutely stunning on the happiest day of your life, and you definitely do not want to disappoint them. If you want your wedding day to be a wonderful and memorable experience for everybody, it is essential that you know how to choose the right wedding dress. There are many different types of wedding dress for you to choose from, and you have to select one that suits your body type and personality.

Full Skirt Gown or Ball Bridal Gown

The full skirt gown is an elegant gown that is comprised of a traditional full skirt and a fitted bodice. The skirt is usually layered with crushed organza ruffles or other airy fabrics, and the bodice often features beaded lace motifs. This type of wedding dress is suitable for brides with full figure, thin, or pear-shaped body type. It is also recommended for those who have a petite or hour-glass figure.

A-Line or Princess Wedding Gown

The A-line wedding gown is another classic wedding dress. As its name suggests, it is shaped like the letter “A”. Most A-line wedding dresses have a tapered top, flared skirt, and a sloped waist, and they look good on women whose figures are heavier at the waist or hips. This type of wedding dress is characterized by a fitted bodice without waist, and it flares gently at the waistline. It can come in many different styles, most of which have attractive embellishments such as lace trim, beading, embroidery, and even chapel length train. The princess wedding gown is similar to the a-line dress, but it does not come with visible vertical panels.

Mermaid Wedding Dress

The mermaid wedding dress is usually fitted at the top and the hips, and it widens out at the knees. This graceful and elegant dress is a great option for petite women who have a small bust and waist, because it can accentuate their nice figures. If you want a truly sensual slender look, you can wear a mermaid wedding dress that has a sweetheart neckline and bell sleeves.

Empire Waist Wedding Dress

The empire waist wedding dress is very fitted around the bust, and the rest of it falls straight. It has a dividing line just below the bust that creates an illusion of a fuller bust. It is suitable for brides who have a smaller bust, or less than perfect waistline and hips.

Having Two Dresses for the Wedding

A lot of the excitement of a wedding, particularly in smaller communities, is the general “buzz” that is going to be created around the bride’s appearance. Often it will be quite a talking point, especially among the older women in the community and they will certainly be looking forward to seeing the bride in all her finery on the day. Everyone invited to the wedding will also be looking forward to seeing the bride, the focal point of attention after all and as such, each bride, together with her mother of course, will want to be sure that she does her best and appears in sparkling repose on the big day.

A beautiful wedding dress is definitely expected for the actual ceremony itself. Normally this is a very formal affair and selection can require a lot of planning and budget. Nevertheless, the bride of today won’t necessarily stop there as it is now becoming commonplace to choose a second wedding dress – one for the reception as well. You cannot blame the bride after all, as the custom wedding dresses chosen for the ceremony these days can be quite heavy and restrictive. It can be difficult to move around with the wedding train in tow and the veil in place, especially when fatigue sets in during the evening.

Having two wedding dresses can certainly add to the budget, but this is after all intended to be a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence and should be as memorable as possible. There is normally sufficient time to prepare in between the ceremony itself and the reception and this should allow the bride, together with the maid of honor, bridesmaids and mother to go back to the hotel room or to the home, as the case may be and change.

It’s sensible for the bride to choose a much lighter wedding dress than the more formal gown worn during the ceremony, but it can be of the same style and color befitting her exclusive presence. There is no reason why the second dress should not have a great flair as well, even though many brides choose a shorter length, especially as it will allow her to dance the evening away with her loved one.

In Toronto, wedding dresses can be selected for the big occasion and for the reception by turning to the established experts and professionals who have helped many a bride select her options. Remember that you should coordinate between the two outfits for best effect and the other guests at the reception will be suitably impressed when you show up with a modified version of your original spectacular creation.

The wedding day can be a long and drawn out affair and it seems only right that the bride gets a chance to appear at the reception in a more appropriate garb. If you are yet to select your bridal shop, visit Bella’s Brides to find your dream dress.
